The Rest of the Francis Visit

Sissy and the kids were here for the last week of my pregnancy and the first two weeks of Lincoln’s life.  I just have to say that Jenna is a ROCK STAR.  She took care of everything and made my life so much easier.  I really wish she were having a third kid so that I could pay her back for all that she did.  She not only took care of her two kids AND my two big boys AND cooked, cleaned etc.  She entertained the kids, took them to do fun things and all while staying calm and being in a great mood.  I am seriously in awe of my sister.  THANK YOU so much Jenna!!!  It makes me sad to think about any girl who doesn’t have a sister because mine is truly my best friend.

And now for the pictures:

Jackson absolutely adores Lincoln.  Of course I’ve never actually heard him say Lincoln, he just calls him Pirate.

Who can resist this sweet face?

Jack constantly wants to hold Pirate.

As soon as they got back from San Antonio Nana was able to meet Lincoln for the first time!

Lincoln was very happy to be with his Nana.

Once again, Lincoln has everyone wrapped around his little finger.

Beautiful Mia all dressed up and ready to rock at the American Idol concert.

Lincoln wearing a pair of Uncle B.J.’s pajamas.

If the Francis family ends up living in Austin near us, Mia will be Lincoln’s favorite babysitter!

Cousin fun!

Lennon told me that he wished he was Lincoln’s big brother.

Papa and Linc.

A new super hero. . .Underwear Man!

Jay’s office sent us a bouquet from Edible Arrangements, it was delicious!

Big Brother Jack is awesome!

Aunt Jess and Uncle Noah met Lincoln when they came over for a family lunch.

What a great family day!

Bear adores his Papa.  Papa is the only person other than Jay and I that Bear wants to rock him at bedtime.  I love seeing my boys so bonded to my dad!

Jack wearing Uncle Jeremy’s glasses.  Mia thought he looked like a blond Harry Potter.

Happy little Lennon!

We had some fun playing with Lincoln and taking pictures.

The boys loved watching Superman with Uncle Jeremy.

Jenna took this picture of Bear.  She said he was just sitting by Lincoln and playing quietly.  She went over with the camera and he scooted over and said, “are you taking a picture of that baby?”  When she said she wanted a picture of both of them he smiled.  I love that little guy!

The boys got a package in the mail from Aunt Carolyn.  She had made them super awesome super hero costumes since they are now both “super big brothers.”  They LOVE them!  Thanks Carolyn!

I love seeing Bear with Lincoln.  He’s so sweet to him.

Cousin fun!

My doula, Delilah came by for my post partum visit to see Lincoln.

She wanted to be sure that we got a picture of the birth mark on the top of his head before it gets covered up by his hair.

Kristin also came by to meet our new little man.

The four loves of my life!

More photo fun. . .

Swimming at Nana and Papa’s.

These sweet faces melt my heart!

Wow, that was a LOT of pictures!  Looks like I’m going to have to split the rest of the Francis visit into another post!
